A long duration snow event brought heavy snow to north central Idaho from March 5 through March 8.

Total accumulations ranged from 1-3 feet across the Clearwater Mountain Region with the extremes of 41 inches at Dixie and 42 inches at Pierce, and 1-2 feet in the mountains of Lemhi County. Power outages and schools were closed in Clearwater County on March 7 due to heavy snow and downed trees.
